St. Marys 7, New Bremen 2
St. Marys ACME starter Brad Sawmiller threw a one-hitter and struck out 10, as the Roughriders won 7-2 against New Bremen on Friday night at K. C. Geiger Park.

“Brad did a great job for us on the mound tonight,” St. Marys head coach Alan Huber said. “He had a complete ballgame with 10 strikeouts and five walks. He is a little frustrated with the walks but he expects a little better the next time out. He is also frustrated with not getting the no-hitter, but he did get a one-hitter.”

St. Marys (11-1) travels to Wapakoneta on Monday and a rematch at New Bremen on Wednesday, while New Bremen (8-4) entertains Sidney in a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.

With both teams helpless to get a run across in a more traditional way, it took something strange to end the gridlock in the first game of a doubleheader between the Mariners and Locos.

Grand Lake’s Dan Marcuzzo scored all the way from second base on an error to give the Mariners a 1-0 win in the bottom of the 10th inning over Lima at Jim Hoess Field.

That bizarre finish also finally gave Alger the only run he needed in a masterful performance. Alger threw 10 shutout innings for the win on the hill.

The Locos recovered in the nightcap to pick up a 2-0 seven-inning win over the Mariners.

Grand Lake (3-5) won the first game in dramatic fashion.

Lima first baseman Andy Chriscaden couldn’t secure a throw at the bag after Patrick Duncan laid down a sacrifice bunt and when the ball dribbled five feet behind the bag, Marcuzzo came home standing up.

O'Neal threw nine-plus innings in the loss, giving up one unearned run.

Connor Hudnall and Chriscaden drove in the Lima’s two runs in the nightcap.

The Mariners travel to Licking County on Sunday and are back at home next Wednesday against Hamilton at 7 p.m.
